The acclaimed Broadway Sings concert series will present its 14th installment on February 6 at 8pm, honoring two major legends of pop rock with Broadway Sings Bowie/Prince. The one-night-only concert will feature completely new arrangements of the hits of these two groundbreaking artists, accompanied by a 14-piece orchestra playing original orchestrations.

The concert will feature the talents of Andrew Chappelle (Hamilton), Eden Espinosa (Wicked), Gregory Haney (Hamilton), Van Hughes (Spring Awakening), Ruby Lewis (Paramour), Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody), Joel Perez (Fun Home), Jelani Remy (The Lion King), Christina Sajous (Baby It's You), and more to be announced.

The concert, which is the first Broadway Sings double bill, will give tribute to both of these groundbreaking musical innovators and their greatest songs, including David Bowie's "Starman", "Heroes", and "Life on Mars", and Prince's "When Doves Cry", "Purple Rain", and "Little Red Corvette". The music will be orchestrated and arranged by Joshua Stephen Kartes.
